Greg111 13 Report post Posted June 11, 2012 A b/v open at idle generates a larger than normal maf signal thus the car runs richer, its engine vacuum thats opening the b/v airflow for the blower is controlled by throttle opening thus when they are closed no boost you need to plumb the b/v back between the maf and the blower thus the maf wont see the air leak. Having the blower switched on all the time makes no odds as turbos/blowers that are directly driven all the time again the throttle regulates the boost adjust the top screw on the b/v until its just closed at idle and see what that does for it remember the stock ecu/dme has no idea what boost means but it does pickup on any air leaks. Ok will try that, haven't touched the adjustment on it yet as I assumed it was setup when Garett had it. Also it appears I may be able to remove and block the vacum hose on the fuel regulator, puts it from 2.5 bar to 3 bar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slideways 47 Report post Posted June 11, 2012 You should really look at trying to blow thru the maf as off throttle your bov will be opening allowing the s/c to continuously draw air through the maf. Does it seem to run really rich when the bov is open/backing off throttle? Also with that s/c on a s50, you would need to have a larger crank pulley than that on the s/c to overdrive it. By my rough calcs, it will need to be overdriven by 1.5times to get 5psi. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Screw blowers are the way to go being able to run over 30,000rpm from mem the eaton of the Toyota has a max 11,000rpm pullies are sized from there, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not running the best at idle due to the way the valve is operating.From what i've been told the engine is over driving the charger thus why the valve is pouring out boost at idle, so yeah a larger crank pully is requiered.

Actually relying on it haha.If it all gets to complicating and looking like more money will need throwing at it i'll remove the lot and just go back to N/A whilst playing with different intakes, CSL for instance.

Greg111 13 Report post Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) Well as quick as it went on it's now come off, had the dyno/co2 test today. Bad news, with the charger switched off the fuel map is bang on, with it switched on the co2 goes to 6% at idle, 9% at cruise and 12% at full throttle but then suddenly drops to 0%, fuel can't keep up with air delivery unfortunately Not a happy camper but at least the engine is now safe, have connected air flow meter straight to the intake pipe of the plenum, seems to go really well, better than factory anyway. Edit: I don't give up however, already have plans on different intake systems Edited June 12, 2012 by Greg. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No big deal, custom plenum works well without it.Had to give it try ha. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greg111 13 Report post Posted June 13, 2012 Yep, I wouldn't say it was a waste of time (maybe money) but I had fun building it, I work on cars every day but still enjoy getting stuck into mine. Now I can say been there done that, N/A is where it'll stay now, as previously said, I already have a mad intake design ready to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
